PORK CHOP HELP!

I bake them with a bit of apple juice (just to cover the bottom of the pan -- you can use water to reduce calories), surrounded by sliced apples. I sprinkle salt, pepper, and cinnamon over everything. It is amazingly yummy. I even make it for company!

That sounds absolutley delish :-)

My husband browns the pork chops a little. Then sautes some onions to be a little brown. Place the Pork chops on top of the onions add some prunes and a little water. Put a lid on and let it cook over low heat for about 30 mins. Sooo good. We use to use apples instead of the prunes but the prunes hold up to the braising much better.

I make a cajun spice "rub" and bake them with that on them. You can probably find a simple recipe online...I think I use cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and a couple other spices.

Pork chops are my favorite... I normally grill them or cook them in a pan, I never use my oven for cooking meat.

This time of year I like it this way...

Rosemary
Onion
Garlic
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Take the rosemary and pluck all the leaves off the springs until you have a handfull of leaves.
Dice the onion small
Finley chop the garlic

Pile that all together and pour on some salt.. take your knife and chop it up for a minute or so... put it in a bowl with the Olive oil and make it into a paste... rub the pork chops with the paste and sprinkle on the pepper.

Put it in a hot pan, with a little more olive oil in it. (Optionally you can deglaze the pan with some white wine and make a nice pan sauce to go on your starch)

I brown mine a little (no oil( then lay them on top of my tomato casserole thats made using a tin of tomatoes with strips of red and green peppers, sliced onion and sliced mushroom mixed together with a little cayenne and black pepper. Cover and cook for about 30-45 minutes until the tomato mix is thick enough to eat with a fork without juice going everywhere. Used to serve it with mashed potato but now serve it with baked sweet potato.

I buy thick preferably bone on, and marinate them in hevily salted nd sugared apple cidar vinager for about an hour. Then sear them in a cast iron skillet. Sometimes ill braise them in apple cidar with some grilled onions on top andd a whole lot of pepper.

I made some pork medallions the other night that were AMAZING! One serving of pork came out to about 300 calories. If your chops aren't boneless, I think you would need to remove the bone.
Preheat oven to 350
I took the pork and pounded it thin. I had a bowl of flour, bowl with egg and 1tbs water, and bowl of bread crumbs. Each bowl had a teaspoon of creole seasoning mixed in it. Dredge chop in flour, then egg wash, then in bread crumbs.

In large oven proof sauce pan, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil, add chops and cook until first side is golden, about 2 minutes. Turn the pork chops over and put in oven. Bake for 3-4 minutes, until thermometer reads 150. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
In another pan, I melted 1/4 cup butter, and let it begin to brown, once browned I added a little more than a teaspoon of lemon juice. Once that is warmed,I poured it over the cooked pork chops.

I actually made pork chops last night, and they were good. Buy the center cut pork chops, cut thin, boneless. Take french fried onions and smash them up in a ziplock bag, and toss the pork chops in the bag and shake them up. The juices from the pork chop will be sticky enough for the "breading" to stick. Put the chops on your broiler pan, and bake them at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 mins. The onions are crispy, and the pork chops are juicy..

Oh, and sometimes I put them in a crock pot with a low-cal BBQ Sauce and Pineapple. Sounds odd, but my we love it and it makes my husband very happy!

How much pineapple do you use? How long do you cook it.? This sounds really good.
